Introduction Genetic engineering
In a simple way, what is biomedicine Definition, it’s functions in
and genetic engineering? science and applications in
the medicine

Biomedicine Conclusions
Branch of medicine, studies Why are these subjects so
and contribution to society important in the world?
 Introduction 01
● Genetic engineering and biomedicine
allow us to better understand the
genetic system for it’s care and
development.
● Despite the same objective, different
things are studied in each science
02 Genetic engineering

● Is a process that uses laboratory

technologies to modify the composition of
an organism's DNA.

● These modifications allow the creation of a

living organism or give characteristics to
other of the same species

● Helps to create medicines and vaccines

03 Biomedicine

● The union of biology and medicine to

study general features of human

● Allows the discover of diseases and

pathogens that may affect the population

● Cell biology, biochemistry and

microbiology are very important in the
subject
Four important moments…

01 Investigation
Understanding of
biological mechanisms
02 Diagnostic
Disease detection

03 Treatment
With help of new
technologies
04 Prevention
Study of the
organism
 Conclusions
❖ Both areas of science have allowed human
beings to live in a better way thanks to their
advances along history. Their study has
provided a lot of solutions to several diseases
and information about our health and our
body.
